Mining at Iron Lake ...

[Hamtaru]

Hi,

i'm currently miner 33 and trying to mine at the iron lake camp.

I saw everywhere that for cobalt ore, you must be at -4 and that the strike zone is at 4.

After spending 4 hours to mine, i saw that the strike zone is at 2 or 3 ....

Is this due to my level (33) for a grade 5 ?

I saw the same thing for iron ore 3.5 or 1 ..

You're probably too low level. From patch 1.17 notes:

[dev1039] When the three below conditions are met in regards to the grade and difficulty of a gathering attempt, the "sweet spot" of the approach phase will be in a fixed location.

1. Class rank
2. Values of VIT for miners, STR for botanists, and DEX for fishers
3. Bait and lures (for fishing only)

ex.) At a certain grade and difficulty, having the appropriate rank, DEX value, and bait/lure will ensure that jigging the rod precisely in the middle will result in a black eel hit.

Shame on me, i missed that ; ;

Thanks a lot
